Sensors
Develop, connect, expand: TI wireless sensor kit
Expanding upon TI's LaunchPad ecosystem, the new LaunchPad SensorTag kit (LPSTK-CC1352R) offers integrated environmental and motion sensors, multi-band wireless connectivity and easy-to-use software to help you prototype your next connected application.
Plug & Trust for secure sensor authentication
NXP's EdgeLock SE050 is used for secure sensor authentication enabling full end-to-end security from the sensor to the cloud or a local gateway.
Getting started with hall-effect sensors using the MAX9921
The world that we live in today contains millions of sensors that continue to revolutionise the way we live, move and interact with each other and nowhere else have we seen the sudden rise more than in our automobiles.
How to connect a TEMT6000 light sensor to DK IoT Studio
The ability to measure and record ambient light levels is a common and useful sensing function for many IoT projects.
Automotive imaging radar using TI mmWave sensors
There is still some confusion in the industry about the different roles that three major sensor types - camera, radar and LIDAR - have in a vehicle, and how each can solve the sensing needs of ADAS and autonomous driving.
Single-chip radar for diverse proximity-sensing applications
The AWR1443 millimetre wave (mmWave) sensor from Texas Instruments is a highly integrated 76 to 81GHz radar device that serves as a single-chip radar solution suitable for proximity-sensing automotive radar applications.
Single-chip mmWave sensor integrating processing capability
The IWR6843 is an integrated single chip mmWave sensor based on FMCW radar technology capable of operation in the 60GHz to 64GHz band. It is built with TI’s low power 45nm RFCMOS process and enables unprecedented levels of integration in an extremely small form factor.
Small size low voltage Hall effect latch
The DRV5011 device from Texas Instruments is a digital-latch Hall effect sensor designed for motors and other rotary systems. The device has an efficient low-voltage architecture that operates from 2.5 to 5.5V. The device is offered in standard SOT-23, and low-profile X2SON and DSBGA packages. The output is a push-pull driver that requires no pullup resistor, enabling more compact systems.
Can AI improve tyre durability and performance levels?
Falken’s parent company, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI), has developed new technology that utilises AI to predict the properties of rubber and detects how structural changes, due to load and wear, will affect performance throughout a tyre’s life cycle.
Radar-on-chip for short-range radar applications
The use of radar technology has grown tremendously in recent years. In the automotive context, the primary radar applications can be broadly grouped into corner radars and front radars. Corner radars (rear and front) are typically short-range radar sensors that handle the requirements of blind-spot detection (BSD), lane-change assist (LCA) and front/rear cross-traffic alert (F/RCTA).
